Cross Spider
Originally uploaded by A Race

We have seen this guy hanging around in some of the places we have been staying in in Northern Queensland. It always takes on this cross shape in it's web and sits upside down. It's quite a large fella (aren't they all large, Anne? - Gareth) with a body size of half an inch then its legs on top of that makes him a good three inches.
Danger level # 0 Do we like him, yes we do, I have seen mosquitos in his web.
He is non agressive and non-toxic to humans, phew!
